What is this? Some plates made in China may let a chemical called melamine move into food when hot or acidic foods touch them.

What's happening? Germany found that these plates can release melamine, but it is not clear how much or how risky it is.

Does this affect me? If you have plates from China, they might be part of this issue.

What should I do? Stop using them for hot or acidic foods. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you have concerns.
